This site has a lot of picturesof hoover playin what they called hoover-ball. The reason for this hoover ball game was to kepp Herbert in shape. Hoover-ball is a combination of tennis, volleyball and medicine ball. White House physician Admiral Joel T. Boone invented the game to keep President Hoover physically fit.
"It required less skill than tennis, was faster and more vigorous, and therefore gave more exercise in a short time," Hoover wrote in his Memoirs.
"It is more strenuous than either boxing, wrestling or football," wrote Will Irwin, a friend of Hoover's, in a 1931 article "The President Watches His Waistline" in Physical Culture magazine. "It has the virtue of getting at nearly every muscle in the body."

Inaugural Address of Herbert Hoover
March 24, 1929
Monday March 4, 1929 in Washington DC; Chief Justice William Howard Taft administered the oath on the East Portico of the Capitol.
http://hoover.archives.gov/info/inauguralspeech.html
This is Hebert Hoover’s actual inaugural. In his inaugural it talks about Our Progress, The Failure of Our System of Criminal Justice, Enforcement of the 18th Amendment, A National Investigation, The Relation of Government to Business, Cooperation by the Government, education, world peace, Public Health, Party Responsibilities, Special Session of the Congress, Other Mandates From The Election, and the Conclusion. This inauguration speech was very informative and it talked a lot about what was going on at that timing before Hoover went into office. Also what he was going to do when he got into office. I definitely think this is a really good primary source.

The Ordeal of Herbert Hoover
By Richard Norton Smith and Timothy Walch http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2004/summer//hoover-1.html
In this story it gives a lot of information about Hoover and how people looked at him as a bad guy instead of a good guy. They also mentioned how Hoover's presidency remains largely an untold story. It also mentioned that it was an uphill campaign for Hoover's Democratic opponent. It says how the depression start and how it mounted to the great depression In a single day, sixteen million shares were traded—a record—and thirty billion dollars vanished into thin air. Also they talk about how people always tried to give him a bad reputation;; But this sports-loving President couldn't relax in public. For example, he stopped one afternoon to watch a sandlot ball game, cheering on the kids at play and informally chatting with them after the game ended. Colleagues urged the President to return the next day and be photographed with the boys, saying it would be good for his public image. Hoover would do nothing of the kind! It was one thing to relax, however infrequently, quite another to perform. "You can't make a Teddy Roosevelt out of me!" he proclaimed, to the despair of advisers.

Herbert Hoover's Boy Biographer
By Glen Jeansonne

http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2007/fall/marsh.html
on this website is a biograohy of William J. Marsh. Marsh talks about his time during the great depression and talks a lot about Herbert Hoover. William stated the great depression was not Hoover's fault. A senator who criticized the President "ought to be ashamed of himself. William also talks about Herbert in many great ways like calling him a wonderful man and saying he did a lot for his country. Here are some of the quotes I took from the website that William J. Marsh had said "Herbert Hoover has done a lot of good for this country,” "there is always one fellow in the crowd who wants to be boss." Hoover became a successful mining engineer, and he saved Belgium from starvation. Hoover is a "wonderful man," who "holds the highest position in the world."

My Revised Thesis Statement and Introduction
Even though people blamed Herbert Hoover for contributing to the great depression, He should be looked at differently for the way he handled it during that disaster.
My topic is about Herbert Hoover and his life during presidency in the Great Depression. For NHD I will be talking about how Hoover handled one off the biggest disasters in American history. The reason I pick this was I thought it would be interesting to learn more about his life during that time because some people fight weather he was the fault for the depression back in the 1920’s. Also because myself and many other people believe that we may be going through another great depression with Wall Street, cashing and all the money going over to the troops in Iraq. With this knowledge I can learn what they could have done differently to save the markets from crashing and what are they doing now that they did then.
